Bio / Background
Irish Music Magazine, Centennial Edition,
says...
"Wow, nearly an hour of total immersion in
some glorious music, sensitive re-workings
of tunes, surprising unfamiliar lines, different
versions... it's a quality showcase. Evans has
a rich, very clear and well-syncopated voice,
full of resonance and musicality. The team
behind the songs are as good as you'd get
anywhere... Search it out, it's a revelation".
"Winsome debut album" (Hot Press)
"Finely-crafted and sensitively-balanced recording which is worth looking out for. A well-modulated voice, with a good range and fine clarity of enunciation..."
(Living Tradition)
"a rich and evocative tapestry, beautifully and
masterfully woven... a true symphony of traditional music and song" (Irish Edition)
Mark's growing love for the traditional songs of Britain and Ireland has earned him warm recognition as an accomplished singer and instrumentalist, leading to the much-awaited launch of A Rival Heart in 2003.
